Peritoneal Tumor Microenvironment of Cancers on Cancer Hallmarks: Perspectives of Translational Medicine provides readers with cutting-edge knowledge on tumor microenvironment. By exploring multiple aspects on tumor microenvironment, it gives an integrative insight on cancer diseases ranging from diagnosis to prediction of prognosis and individualized treatment.The book discusses topics such as clinical significance of tumor microenvironment, tumorigenesis and cancer progression, histopathological features of cancer in peritoneum, immune cells in tumor, exosomal cell-to-cell interactions, and therapeutic approaches to target tumor microenvironment. Additionally, it discusses tumor evolution during chemotherapy and metastasis, and future perspectives on identification and validation of biomarkers using liquid biopsy.This book is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, medical doctors, and several members of biomedical field who want to understand the complex microenvironment of peritoneal tumors. - Discusses how to apply tumor microenvironment knowledge to diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, and individualized treatment of cancer - Provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on translational medicine, focusing on bench-to-bedside approach for cancer treatment and diagnosis - Presents collaborative research works from the perspectives of medical doctors, cancer researchers, basic biological scientists, and bioinformaticians to provide integrative insights on tumor microenvironment
